AIWorld6 - The Joy of Small Data - Follow up

You can see from the plot of evaluated and the plot of the derivative of the plot that it'll be easy to pick out what the species are. A naive parser that just looks at the local maximums as indicating a species and local minimums as indicating the difference between species did quite well on this data. I would have guessed [14900, 15050, 15300, 15500, 15650, 15900, 16100] and the KDE with this naive parsing went with [14732, 14861, 15054, 15674, 15725, 16087]. With the exception of 15674 and 15725 being too close to each other I think it was a total win. I'll be implementing this algorithm shortly. And perhaps even showing the histogram to let a viewer second guess the automatic stats gathering if they feel the need.
